AK Compact V2

Features

GORE AUTO VENT

• GORE auto vents provide a waterproof and breathable solution, thanks to their proprietary GORE Membrane
• This breathable membrane has a microporous structure that allows air and gases to pass through freely, so pressures are equalized, and moisture diffused before problems arise

WIDE NOSE

• For pure wing performance, we kept the Compact as short as possible, with the wide nose keeping volume up front, and the rails parallel
• This creates directional stability at low and high speeds, and spreads the volume more evenly between the nose and tail

THICK PROFILE

• Packing a surprising amount of float into such a short length reduces the swing weight, keeping the board easy to pump and turn
• The volume is optimized for stability and works with the high apex rail to keep the board as nimble as possible

HIGH APEX RAIL

• The high apex combines the stability of a wider board with the ability to turn more aggressively as you would on a board 4 inches narrower
• These work in conjunction with the hard release edge in the tail and a softer release in the nose for intuitive touchdowns and fast releases
• This unique combination makes the Compact easier to use in lighter wind without sacrificing performance as you get up on the foil

CONCAVE DECK

• The concave deck lowers the riders center of gravity on the board and places the buoyancy higher on the rails, creating a more stable sub-planing platform
• It also makes you feel more connected to the foil, improving the stability and response when pumping and turning

BOTTOM SHAPE

• The rounded nose and softer rails help prevent the nose from sticking on touch downs, instead recovering without losing too much speed
• The mid-section runs into a single concave for maximum planing speed and works in conjunction with the hard rails in the tail area for a quick water release during partial touchdowns

CARBON INNEGRA CONSTRUCTION

• Full carbon innegra top deck
• Wood sandwich standing areas
• Heavy-duty foil connection
• Covering an ultra-lightweight fused EPS core, the Reflex Carbon Innegra shell provides exceptional flex and response
• Innegra, an inherently lightweight and impact-resistant material, dissipates and absorbs a tremendous amount of energy, greatly reducing vibrations
• The heavy-duty foil connection features a high-density load plate, which carries the load of the foil and connects it to the top deck for a direct connection between the foil and the rider

KICK TAIL

• The bottom kick tail allows the rider to tilt the board upwards, assisting to force the nose to lift and release from the water
• It also reduces the tail touching the water when pumping and turning
